FRENCH AND THE UNION PACIFIC.
He Threatened to Sell Information to Papers
Unless He Was Given Employment.

Boston, June 3-In the Union Pacific in
quiry, to-day, President Adams, being recalled,
was asked by the chairman: "Was Theophilus
French paid $500. in December last, by you or
by Sidney Dillon. or by any other person, for
the Union Pacific Railway Company, for the
purpose of suppressing the publication of rail-
road article during the month of December,
1886, or at any other timel"
Mr.. Adams-Not to my knowledge, and GER
tainly not by the Union Pacific. No such pay

ABOUT A DIVORCE.
A Canadian Legislator Thinks the United
States Are Going to the Bad.

OTTAWA Ont. June 3.-A lively discussion
took place in the Senate yesterday, over the ap
plcaton of Mrs. Asher for divorce from her
husband. William Manton. In 1876 he obtained
a divorce from her in Massachusetts, and Mrs
Asher applies for divorce on the ground of
cruelty and unfaithfulness.
The question involved was, whether or not o
divorce granted in the States to British subjects
should be recognized in Canada. The Hon. r..
w. Scott strenuously opposed any recognition in
Canada of United States divorces He saids it
was notorious that in the United States, year by
year, the facilities for obtaining divorces be-
coming greater ard greater. until in the very
State of Massachusetts the marriage law
practically gone Families were broken ND,
married couples were broken asunder and were
REMARKED, until the effect on the social system
was becoming painful to all observers of those
peculiarities. Surely, it did not lie in the way
of the people of Canada, through their represent
atives, to adopt their system. for that was what
was practically urged by his friends when they
contended that divorce obtained in of the
States of the American Union should have legal
effect in Canada. He shuddered to think of it.
1t would be most unsafe principle to lay down
in Canada, that persons by simply going to the
United States and residing there for some time
should dissolve the marriage ties

EX-yICE-PRESIDENT WHEELER.
He Is Helpless and Unconscious. and Slowly
Dying from Softening of the Brain.

ALBANY, N. Y, June 3-The Malone Palla-
dunn has the following statement of the critical
illness of ex-Vice president William A. Wheeler:
For ten days he has been conscious and rational
only at intervals, and for the past two

above the hip one side, and has become
an element of further weakness. 1t seems
impossible that he rally, and his death at
any hour would not be surprising. though he
may survive for several days. Mr.. Wheeler had
been slowly failing throughout the past five
six years until last winter. when the progress of
the disease became more rapid and his physician
and friends began to fear the approach of the
end. On the night of March 3 he was seized
with chills. followed by sinking SPELL and DR..

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 3.-On the oath of Feb
ruary Beulah Moore girl of seventeen, and her
father, J. w. Moore. shot and killed w. II. AL
len. When arrested they said Beulah had been
seduced by Allen, and that the latter had failed
to make good his promise to marry the girl Tho
slaughter of Allen most deliberate. The
daughter entered the field where ne was at work,
followed by her father, who carried double
bareled shotgun loaded with buckshot Moore
stopped just inside the inclosure. while his
daughter went up to Allen, drew pistol from
under her cloak and fred at him three times in
rapid succession. Moore then came up and fired
one barrel of his gun at the stricken man. Allen
fell, and Moore gave hIm the contents of the
other barrel as he lay gasping upon the ground.
Allen died an hour later. A few minutes before
his death he was asked if he had done the
girl any wrong and solemnly protested that he
had not. Father and daughter were indicted for
murder in the first degree. and on Monday last
were brought to trial. The State proved the
facts of the killing as above stated and also es-
tabshed the fact that the girl had been guilty
of lewdness prior to the time of the alleged out
rage. The court charged the jury strictly on the
law. The twelve were out about hour and
returned a verdict of not guilty.

Russia has also signifed her emphatic protest
against the prolongation of the Bulgarian

Russia refuses to recognize any act of

contention that Bulgaria has been without

Alexander. In this view Russia init

About two weeks ago the result of the obser-

Connecticut; Cullom, of Illinois, and Black burns
of Kentucky, in regard to the manner in which

has this to say in reply to the semi-oficial publi
cation of senatorial opinions:
$50 the senatorial committee were spectators
at an Indian dance. 1t will be noted that the

the Indian school at the Usage agency. Their
visit to the dance and omission of the school
would indicate to the Indians that the dance was
the important element of the reservation life
they wished to see. The fact that they came

the Indians, who will rest under the belief that
they did the most proper thing they could to en-

The Presidential Invitation.

ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
Some thoughtless members of the Grand Army
of the Republic have provoked controversy
concerning the Presidents coming and the
proper way to receive him. There has been an
impression in certain circles that the President
was invited to visit the city in September by
the Grand Army of the Republic. Such is not
the case. 1t has been stated repeatedly in these
columns that the original invitation to the Presl-
dent was prepared by q committee of three at
the request of a committee known as the gen
eral executive committee of the National En-
campment. This executive committee Is COM
posed of Grand Army men, ex-confederates and
other citizens. It is committee not of the
Grand Army. but to receive the Grand Army at
the time OF the encampment. General Grier Is
chairman of this committee and he has worked
hard to make the attendance upon the encamp-
ment large and to persuade the President to
come here as the guest of the city to witness anu
review the great parade. 1t the intention
of members of this committee to make propo-
sition at its next meeting to turn over the re-
ception and entertainment of the President to a
special committee to be appointed by the Mayor.
This action will probably be taken on Saturday

to visit the city by the Grand Army. propo
sition was made to the executive committee to

invite him, but the question was permanently
shelved the announcement that 1t had not
been customary in the past for the Grand Army
to pursue this course.

the subscribers feel more interest in the matter

man said:

sesses no official knowledge whatever of Presi-
dent Cleveland's intention to visit St. Louis dur
ing the national Grand Army Encampment, and
has had no communication with the St Louis
committee arrangements on the subject. He
does not believe that the citizens of St Louis
will invite the President for the encampment
week. as the accommodations of the city will be
taxed ito their utmost capacity at that time in
caring for the Grand Army people. He does not
think that the citizens of st. Louis will be in
hospitable to the Grand Army men as to seek to
attract a great additional crowd that would nat
urally turn out to see President. He believes
that the Grand Army has the right to expect
that all the accommodations of the city will be
open to it.
